...toppling like dominoes, and the latest to get a foretaste of doom is Montmartre's Moulin Rouge, soon to make way for a supermarket unless sentimental Parisians can block its sale. Built in 1889 as a dance hall for Paris' deliciously depraved demimonde, it subsequently became a cabaret, vaudeville house, cinema, and a focal point for "generations" of wide-eyed tourists. Its raffish denizens were immortalized by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, the unhappy dwarf who turned poster drawing into a fine...
...City License Commissioner Bernard J.

One night at a party she met Darryl Zanuck, who arranged a screen test on the basis of which 20th...
...Manhattan's Village Gate cabaret, Navarro announces (in Spanish and infant English) that the great liner is setting sail from New York-"ba-hoooooo." Then Spain and 10,000 oles as the matador enters the corrida. A veronica ("shwuss") and the bull flies past ("bohr-uhm, bohr-uhm"). Another 10,000 oles. With only a word here and there, Navarro moves on to England for the Queen's birthday and produces an affair of state: troops marching, planes swooping close by them (the sound of both at once), rifle fire, drums, bagpipes, bugles, hoofbeats, helicopters...
